Luke 19:
10
10 … “for the Son of Man has come
to seek and to save that which was lost.”
Jesus had a
specific purpose in His life, and nothing would get in the way of it being
accomplished.
I have a
purpose too, but I wonder how well I’ll do at the end of my life, towards
accomplishing it?
Yes, I’m a
Pastor of a little church in NE Wisconsin, and my purpose is specific.
I should be
directing people to the One who can save them.
Quite
candidly, I’m planning to go on vacation, and then move to a different dwelling
once we arrive home.
One we get
settled in that new place, it won’t be long before I start planning for an Elk
hunting trip in SW Colorado.
But none of
those events are a part of my real purpose.
While I live
life on this earth, all that I will ever do for the sake of Christ, is all that
will stand the test of time.
Sometimes, I
think we get our true purposes mixed up.
Gathering the
most memories, or things, is not the measure of a successful life.
I believe
Jesus was truly satisfied at what He accomplished in 33 short years.
A family
friend recently passed away, and there isn’t any funeral or service to remember
what she did while she lived here.
I wonder if
she accomplished what Jesus had her here for?
I wonder at
the end of my life, if I’ll be satisfied?
The real
question though is, will He be satisfied? Time will tell…
